Culkin got his start acting alongside his brother, Macaulay Culkin, in the '90s classic "Home Alone."

Since then, he's appeared in projects like "The Mighty," "Igby Goes Down," and "Succession." For the latter, he earned two Critics' Choice awards, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and two Screen Actors Guild awards.

Culkin won his first Oscar on March 2 for best supporting actor in "A Real Pain." For the role, he also won a Golden Globe, a SAG award, Critics' Choice award, and a BAFTA.

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 23, Jodie Foster shared that her first audition was for a Coppertone commercial when she was 3 years old. Foster won the part, and as she told the audience, "the rest is history."

From there, Foster appeared in television shows like "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and "Paper Moon," as well as films like "Napoleon and Samantha" before embarking on more mature roles.

Foster famously starred in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" when she was just 12 years old. The actor told Deadline in 2024 that her mother put her up for those types of roles because "she wanted me to have a career that had a lot of longevity, where I was taken seriously, or because she wasn't because she came from a pre-feminist era."

Throughout her career, Foster has been nominated for five Oscars, winning two; first in 1989 for her role as Sarah Tobias in "The Accused" and second in 1992 for her role as Clarice Starling in "The Silence of the Lambs."

From his Oscar-winning role as Hugh Glass in "The Revenant" to memorable performances in "Titanic," "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Romeo + Juliet," and more, it's easy to argue that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of his generation.

His prolific career began back in the late '80s when he started acting in commercials. He later earned more roles in television series like "Parenthood" and "Growing Pains," before two breakout roles in "This Boy's Life" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" in 1993. The latter earned him his first Oscar nomination — he was nominated for best supporting actor at the 1994 ceremony, when he was 19.

DiCaprio has been nominated for a total of seven Oscars, winning once in 2016.

Best known for roles like Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde" and Madeline Mackenzie in "Big Little Lies," Reese Witherspoon has also been acting for decades.

The actor and Hello Sunshine founder made her debut in 1991 when she was just 15 years old in Robert Mulligan's "The Man in the Moon."

She went on to win her first, and so far only, Oscar in 2006 for her performance as June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line."

Before she was known as Jamie Stemple Buchman in "Mad About You," Helen Hunt got her start acting as a child in the 1970s.

One of her earliest roles came in 1973 in the film "Pioneer Woman" alongside William Shatner.

However, despite acting during her childhood, Hunt told Vulture in 2011 that she "was never a child star."

"I was in school every year and had normal friends and I loved it and here I am," she said, adding that she didn't wish she started acting later but that a movie set is "a very adult place to be."

Hunt won the Oscar for best actress in 1998 for her role as Carol Connelly in "As Good as It Gets."

Natalie Portman started in the industry in 1992 as an understudy in the play "Ruthless!"

Two years later, when she was just 13 years old, Portman starred as Mathilda in "Léon: The Professional." She's since gone on to star in a number of projects, including the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, "V for Vendetta," "The Other Boleyn Girl," and "Black Swan."

For the latter, Portman won the Oscar for best actress in 2011. She has received a total of three Oscar nominations, the most recent of which came in 2016 for her portrayal of former first lady Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie."

When she was just 14 years old, Regina King won the role of Brenda Jenkins in the show "227," which followed the lives of people in a Northeast DC apartment building.

In 2020, King told People that her mom required her to stay in public school while filming the series, adding, "It was instrumental in me becoming a person who can find balance on shaky ground."

"It's not an easy thing, living your life on display, and it's particularly hard when you're young," King told the outlet.

After "227," King continued acting in projects like "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," "Ray," and "Southland." In 2019, she won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance in Barry Jenkins' "If Beale Street Could Talk."

In addition to acting, King has pursued writing and directing; she was nominated for the 2021 Golden Globe for best director for "One Night in Miami."

In 1987, a 13-year-old Christian Bale started his acting career in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun."

However, his breakthrough came in the 2000s thanks to performances in "American Psycho," "The Machinist," and Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy.

Bale has been nominated for four Academy Awards throughout his career; his first and only win so far came in 2011 for his role as Dicky Eklund in "The Fighter."

Joaquin Phoenix started acting in the '80s alongside his siblings in projects like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Murder She Wrote," and "SpaceCamp."

He received critical acclaim throughout the 2000s thanks to performances in films like "Gladiator," "Signs," and "Walk the Line."

Phoenix has won one Oscar from four nominations; his win came in 2020 for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips' "Joker."

In 2002, Jennifer Connelly won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as Alicia Nash in "A Beautiful Mind," 18 years after she made her acting debut at 14 years old in "Once Upon a Time in America."

Connelly had originally worked as a child model before pivoting to acting. Some of her career credits include "Labyrinth," "Blood Diamond," "Top Gun: Maverick," and "Snowpiercer."
